Our LifeSkills Workshops

We seek to empower students by helping them strengthen their character through
what we call the Vivekananda Lifeskills programme. We have formulated several
interactive Lifeskills programmes & workshops for the students in Colleges and
High Schools. These touch upon topics like:

These workshops promote group
discussions and team presentations on topics addressing top youth questions on
professional and life success, aspirations, expectations, infuences, roles, models,
career paths, challenges, conficts & pragmatic compromises etc.
These
programmes include:

(a) a three-part month-long programme that has a 3 hour
four-session introductory talks & group discussion – for a target audience of about
200 or so;
Followed by a day long four session intensive deep-dive lifeskills
workshop for a target audience of 60 or so and
Followed by three mentoring
sessions spread over 10 days for select students, perhaps about 20 in number;
(b)
a half-day four mini-session workshop for an audience of about 200;
(c) a general 2
hour three-part overview talk;
(d) an informal 2 hour long Q&A sessions for an
audience of about 50.

In addition, we do come up with customized programmes
that can meet the needs of host institutions and forms part of our broad charter.
These programmes are delivered by experts from Industry & Academia apart from
eminent traditional speakers.

Self Help

Apart from these we reach out to potential youth leadership for starting and
nurturing thematically focused self help groups amongst lower strata of society to
enable them to discover, nurture and bring out the best in their skills, talents and
capabilities. More so in the rural areas.
Additionally, every year, Vivekananda Janoththana Trust has been giving away a
number of motivational rewards to rural youth
for taking maths-science stream after completing their matriculation in order to
nurture rural scientifc career pursuits, more so in the world of ecology and
environmental protection and sustenance along with their subsequent impact on
that economy

Vivekananda Janoththana is focused on reaching out to the Indian youth at large,
with mechanisms and means inspired by Swami Vivekananda and the lofty Indian

accompanying successes do not alone make for a holistic personality. There is
more to developing one self than having typical softskills like articulate
communication or a pleasant demeanour. We believe that having the grit to
develop oneself on multiple dimensions, more so, leveraging our excellent heritage
in these matters is vital for every Indian.

Vivekananda Janoththana Seva Activities are very focussed on three objectives:
